Premier League predictions: Lawro v Richard Ashcroft

Along with Liverpool and Chelsea, Premier League leaders Manchester City are unbeaten this season, but will Pep Guardiola's side keep that record intact after Monday's trip to Wembley to face Tottenham?

"Tottenham have struggled in Europe but they have been on a really good run domestically and are only two points behind City at the top of the table," BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson said.

"I see Spurs' run ending on Monday, though. It has already been a frustrating week for them, conceding a late equaliser against PSV in the Champions League, and this is the last game they need."

Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.

This week's guest is singer Richard Ashcroft.

The former Verve frontman is a Manchester United fan who has followed them since he was "about four or five years old".

"My United heroes are the people like George Best, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs who have the club within their DNA and spirit," Ashcroft explained to BBC Sport.

"I never saw Best play but he is my ultimate hero because he was the first rock 'n' roll footballer - he was a genius.

"George had a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders that other footballers did not have to deal with.

"He was human and he had his demons, yet he could still go out on a Saturday and give people something to remember, like Eric Cantona could.
